Picture discs: Flight 666 double live gatefold picture disc.Soundtrack of the movie documentary with the same name. Year of release: 2009.












Ok folks, this is the double picture disc, soundtrack of Flight 666 movie documentary.
Once again the picture discs are super cool, but I confess that I'm a bit fed up of picture discs, it would be time to stop and make for instance coloured editions. Its also sad to see that the majority of the photos are the same from one edition to another, well, they had just 85.000 to choose right ( this was confirmed by Maiden photographer John McMurtrie), so they have few photos..., yeah right!!
No special booklet, nothing, again a cheap edition with nothing outstanding.
Inside the gatefold we have what I think it should had been the sleeve for this editions, an original artwork made by the great Derek Riggs.
Its a bit annoying that they put every single song fading, which cuts a lot the adrenalin and the listening experience, they didn't do that on the DVD, so why this decision?
But of course its a great item to have, the sleeves and pictures are very beautiful.
